Self Storage Unit You Control Vs Container Stored in a Yard. What would you prefer.
The Cost Factor Of Self Storage Units
Although self storage facilities are a common sight in many big cities around the world, there are still plenty of individuals who believe that a storage unit is too costly an option for storing their items. However, the fact is that a self storage unit is relatively cheaper than other traditional storage options. This is because unlike other storage facilities, you are the one who does all the loading, storing and caring of your items. Consequently, you usually have to pay only the rent for the rented space – nothing more.
Basically, the cost of renting a storage unit from Simply Self Storage depends on the size of the storage space. Did you know that traditional storage companies that store in Metal Containers or Wooden Crates levy special charges each time you access your space? Such companies also require you to inform them in advance if you need access. However at Simply self-storage we do not impose any such charges for accessing your storage space nor do we impose any time restrictions. You can come at any time during our access hours and there is no charge to get a box or a golf club or a painting. Whereas if you were to store in one of these container places you pay to go through your stuff everytime you need access. Example: It is 6pm and you need an important document in one of your boxes what happens. At Simply Self Storage you just come over and get it yourself like you were going into your basement. At the container place you call them, give notice and pay a charge and you may not be able to do it the same day.
The contract that you make with Simply self storage can be terminated at short notice. Even if you may be required to pay an initial deposit and weekly rental charges right away, you will usually be refunded the full amount for the weeks you have not used the space, at the time of closing the agreement. We are very flexible. You may decide that you need a larger space and all you do is terminate the rental agreement for the smaller space and sign u for the bigger space and you dont loose any money. We make storage simple and easy.

Its NOT an Industrial warehouse or an Industrial yard where they store your things in Wooden crates or Metal containers (PODS) and you don’t feel like visiting sometimes even for few years because of the costs and inconvienience.
This morning we had Jeannine who had packed her belongings into 7 of these wooden crates 5 years ago and stored them in a big warehouse here in the Lower mainland. She had not seen the stuff again for over 5 years. Why? She couldn’t bring the crates to her Condo and go through it. Jeannine wanted to open those crates and go through the stuff but couldn’t do it at the big warehouse.
At Simply self Storage we had a solution for her. We rented her one of our large drive up storage rental units where she will sort her stuff she has not seen for the past 5 years and probably give some of it away. Jeannine then wants to rent a storage unit from Simply Self storage that she can visit when ever she wants with no extra visiting charges or levies. This is an example of someone with over 5 years experience in using these metal or wooden containers that are stored somewhere else.
